Fallen London Travel Guide:

Chapel of Lights

Furtive faithful gather in the shadows between the many, many candles. A bell tolls in the chapel tower: cracked iron laughter. Beware. The isle is full of voices.

Sunless Sea Lives Rent-Free in My Head, Part Six: The Chapel of Lights

Whenever I eat with ravenous hunger, I think of the Chapel.

Last week, I made a dinner in reference to the food of the Chapel. No shark-steak, of course; no need to eat endangered species for shits and giggles. Plus, vitello tonnato is marvellous, as well.

Sainte-Chappelle, Paris, France

Situated in the Ile-de-la-Cité, the Sainte-Chapelle is part of the Palais de la Cite, the residence of the royalty during the 10th to the 14th century.

It is one of the greatest examples of Gothic Architecture.

Built during 1242 and 1248, in accordance with the wishes of King Louis IX, it housed the collection of the relics of the Passion of Christ.

The 15 stained glass windows tell the story of mankind from Genesis to the Resurrection of Christ through 1.113 scenes.

The Rose Window above the entrance of the Upper Chapel depicts the Apocalypse of St. John.

A priest preparing in the church of Santa Eulàlia de Casa Serra in the village of Lladorre (High Pyrenees, Catalonia).

This church was built in the 8th century and reformed in the 11th century, when it was turned into the little Romanesque building we can see today. The brightly-coloured retable at the end of the chapel's only absis, seen in the photo above, was added in the 17th century.
